Re: QRT based node selection

Quoting Arne Babenhauserheide <[email protected]> from ml.gnutella.dev-forum:
:Do you think node selection based on similarity in the QRT would be useful? 

Hardly.  The QRT is a search table (of which you have only the resulting
modulo and not the original keys).  Similarity of two QRTs therefore means
nothing.

:What do you think about selecting/priorizing nodes from the Host catcher based 
:on similarities in their QRT? 

Even if it meant anything, to know the QRT of a node you need to connect
to it.  Then you would (arbitrarily) disconnect and find another host
if the QRT don't match your specific requirements?  That would be highly
inefficient, because to know the QRT, you need to go through the whole
patch exchange, so it's not immediate and involves traffic and time.
